Not for Blog???

This is not necessarily for the blog. I am sending it because it is special in being:

1) a relatively "professional" one, in terms of how it's written

2) a particularly vicious one, in terms of what it suggest that you do

3) a not-so-smart one, in the sense that they forged some email headers, but forgot to remove some other email headers which show that it was apparently sent to a bunch of individual recipient addresses ill-gotten from some list, all starting with "av" or "aw", in alphabetical order.

It is vicious because it is one degree smarter than the usual ones who just ask to provide your home address, telephone and bank details in reply.

Evidently, here they are not asking for any details themselves, but they are trying to tempt the recipient(s) into intervening to stop some (imaginary) transfer about to be done, and maliciously try to re-direct this transfer to their own account, presumably providing their own bank details instead in the process.

So I guess that if you get tricked, you wouldn't necessarily feel very clean about complaining to officialdom later..

It would maybe be enlightening to get in touch with the other hapless recipients and ask ourselves in common what joins us, that we all appear on the same list.

But maybe that's also something which many of these people would not like to talk about.
